He was tarred by the leftist media of the time, and Democrats in government and academia. Most Americans were glad that he was working to get the enemy agents out of sensitive government jobs.

Pot, kettle, black... Take off your blinders and you will notice that McCarthy was condemned by both the right and left as a zealot. Yes there were some communists in the government and there still are. Nothing in our Constitution that says there shouldn't be. In fact everything there states that free choice is a good thing as it is all part of the checks and balances. As far as communism being evil, you couldn;t be more wrong. It is a perfect society, which is also the reason it does not work, That system is perfect, unfortunately the people are not. The exact same thing could be said for democracy, it is a perfect society but alas, again it does not work in it's true form. As it currently stands the best thing you can hope for is a mixture of both which is what we currently have. Unfortunately it also needs consistent tweaking to change with technology and mores. Jim "Major" wrote in message ... Howard Garland wrote: I see no principle or morals, whatsoever, in the paranoid, McCarthy-like, rhetoric that you have spewed forth in this thread. Maybe you should learn the facts about McCarthy, instead of mindlessly adopting the distortions of the leftist media. Learn for yourself. There were communists in US government. They were working to help an enemy bent on destroying us. McCarthy was very popular among the populace and effective at exposing those who should not be trusted with state secrets. Those on the left did their best to make him the issue and destroy him, so that you would hold the views you have today. Communism is evil. Jim: I have disagreed with some of your posts in the past and have let you know so. I want to take this occasion to comment on how impressed I was by yourmost reasonable and intelligent post on this subject. Mike |

See a hometown view on the topic: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...de/6798041.htm JIM DEFEDE/COMMENTARY Candidates lack original ideas on Cuba policy Poor Condoleezza. In the midst of all of the real problems in the world -- Iraq, North Korea, the break-up of Ben and Jennifer -- the national security advisor had to take time out of her schedule recently to write Florida GOP legislators to assure them that when it comes to Cuba, President Bush is committed to being as ill-informed as any of the Democratic candidates running for president. Which won't be easy. snip |
